I used WHOVA both on a computer and on my phone to follow the Statistics in Pharmaceuticals conference (SIP2021). I can say I liked the experience. I were able to see the agenda and select the part that interested me to put reminders on my own calendars. Whova allows presenters to add the materials for the participants, and it’s a good way for participants to network since they can see each other’s profile and interact. One particular is that we were asked to list our interest, and based on them we could see which participants shared the same. That’s an excellent way to filter out the hundreds of participants in a conference. I will definitely recommend WHOVA for future activities.Show lessMackster19
Great for conferences but spam city after that
For the conferences I’ve attended the application is very nice for attending and joining rooms. The built in chat boards, question board with voting is great.
Now the bad. Recently the application starting spamming me about new conferences and new features to software. I’m done with the conference, I don’t care!!! The notification settings in the app only let you control what you want to get from the conference itself but nothing in general about the application spamming you. So I had to completely turn off all notifications from the app because this is bad design and annoying.
3 stars for the designers being annoying pests.Show lessDeke_k
IGG Conference
Wow. I had never heard about Whova until I participated in the International German Genealogy Conference. What an impressive format. There were a few glitches but that often happens when one is attending a face to face conference. The conference organisers mentioned that they would be reported to Whova. From my point of view the company is accommodating so you couldn’t ask for more. One thing is for sure. I am keeping the app! I have already recommended the platform to one organisation for later use. Thank goodness someone thought outside the box. Just keep thinking that way to improve the app over time so we can all be transported to other parts of the world from our homes!Show lessMoo Dogs

Once I found out that livestreams were indicated at the top of the sessions ‘agenda,’ and only appeared there each day, I found the app easy to use to find a live-streamed session. And you can create your own own agenda of only those things you want to attend. The streams ran one after another with no real need to leave and come back to see the next one. It was, for the most part, glitch free as well once something started streaming. I used my iPhone for everything each day and was on my own home WiFi. And, once things that were recorded for later viewing that we had to miss are loaded into the app, we’ll be able to see all those sessions too. I like the app. It’s pretty easy to use and connect with others at the event.Show lessSlide Doctor

Whova, a virtual platform, made my learning experience exciting! Finding topics, for our event, was easy and efficient. Using the Follow tab helped me to keep up with Topics that interested me the most. Finding valuable resources was just one click away! The search feature saved time when looking for a topic, small group, or an individual within a small group. When networking , I was able to bookmark a participant so that I could find them quickly and message /video chat with them worldwide! Though I tend not to interact with Organizers / Program Facilitators / Program Presenters, I did so on Whova because they seemed “close enough” to be reached. The Organizers/Facilitators/ Presenters interacted with participants real time and if participants reached out to them afterwards, we were notified that a response was given. I did not have to consider technology troubles because there were none. For that reason , I was able to fully grasp all that was available to me during the event! Whova is the right choice for an awesome event!Show lessIndent9

Pretty good overall. I found that the inability to look at the session topics or other session information while watching a session was frustrating. The “program” button is a dead end, not allowing you to start the program. You have to press a different and seemingly redundant button called “agenda” .
I also could not look at the agenda on my laptop while the program was playing on my iPhone. It shut the player off on the iPhone to avoid the reverb we are all so familiar with. This safety feature is great, it is frustrating not to be able to look at the agenda on a separate device. That may be where one should press the “program “ button, but that’s not at all obviouslShow lessTraveler (Lee's horse)
Awesome platform
I had never heard of Whova until my recent experience with it being utilized for a conference I attended virtually. Whova afforded the ability to attend virtual sessions but interact and engage both presenters and other participants. I like to think that because of Whova I was able to establish more professional contacts then I probably would have face to face simply because I’m more of an introverted being and would prefer to only interact with the least amount of people if possible. I have and will continue to recommend Whova to my colleagues.Show lessPure Talent Sports Ministry

I loaded the app 4 days before the conference, I set up my profile & then I started networking w other attendees. I read the speakers bios & chose breakout sessions & setup my conference agenda. I took photos & notes on the app & because I had to leave the conference early I used the live streaming feature to watch the plenary sessions in my Uber & at the airport. I highly recommend WHOVA for your conference experience.Show lessKTown Chic
